How much Vitamin D should you take?

SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.

1. Zone 10 to 1 µg per dayLow dose
2. Zone 21 to 4 µg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
3. Zone 34 to 6 µg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
4. Zone 36 to 10 µg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
5. Zone 510 to 100 µg per dayPractitioner-grade dose

Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
